Apply Bayes Theorem to solve the following problem: Consider a set of patients coming for treatment in a certain clinic. LetA denote the event that a "Patient has heart disease" and B the event that a "Patient is having high blood pressure(BP)."It isknown from experience that 10% of the patients entering the clinic have heart disease and 5% of the patients are having highBP. Also, among those patients diagnosed with heart disease, 7% are having high BP. Given that a patient with high BP, whatis the probability that he will have heart disease

Solution

To solve this problem, we can use Bayes' Theorem. Bayes' Theorem states that the probability of event A given event B can be calculated using the formula:

P(A|B) = (P(B|A) * P(A)) / P(B)

In this case, we want to find the probability of a patient having heart disease (event A) given that they have high blood pressure (event B).

Let's assign the following probabilities: P(A) = 0.10 (probability of a patient having heart disease) P(B) = 0.05 (probability of a patient having high blood pressure) P(B|A) = 0.07 (probability of a patient having high blood pressure given that they have heart disease)

We can now substitute these values into the formula:

P(A|B) = (P(B|A) * P(A)) / P(B) P(A|B) = (0.07 * 0.10) / 0.05 P(A|B) = 0.007 / 0.05 P(A|B) = 0.14

Therefore, the probability that a patient with high blood pressure will also have heart disease is 0.14 or 14%.

A version of bayes rule: P(cause|effect) = P(effect|cause)* P(cause)/P(effect)In this example effect = the state of a patient having red dots on the skin cause = the state of a patient having rubellaPrior probabilities: P(cause) = 1/1000, P(effect)= 1/100.P(effect|cause) = 0.9What is the value of P(cause|effect) 0.9 0.09 0.009

c. Student A tells his professor that he forgot to submit his assignment. From pastexperience, the professor knows that students who finish their assignment on timeforget to submit it 1 in 100 times. He also knows that half the students who have notcompleted their assignments will tell him they forgot to submit. He thinks that 90% ofthe students in his class finished their assignments on time.Using Bayes’ theorem defined in Equation (1) and calculate:P(E Hi) ⋅ P(Hi)P(Hi E) =∑kn=1 P(E Hn) ⋅ P(Hn) Equation (1)i.

A person can have one of the four blood types A, B, AB, and O. The proportions of the four blood types in a given population are(0.2, 0.3, 0.25, 0.25) respectively. Suppose the likelihood of a certain disease X in a person depends on the person's blood type as follows: A: 0.1, B: 0.1, AB: 0.2, and O: 0.4. a) What is the probability of disease X in a person chosen uniformly at random from the population? b) Knowing that the selected person has disease X, what is the probability that their blood type is A?
